Mario Hezonja Returns to NBA on One-Year, $2.8 Million Deal with Cavaliers

Mario Hezonja is returning to the NBA, signing a one-year, $2.8 million contract with the Cleveland Cavaliers. The former No. 5 overall pick, who last played in the NBA for the Portland Trail Blazers in 2019-20, spent the last several seasons developing into an elite player in the EuroLeague. The signing follows the Cavaliers' unsuccessful pursuit of LeBron James, marking a significant comeback for Hezonja after his successful tenure overseas.
